Judicial reforms would have devastating impact on Arab-Israelis - report
One of the first groups in the country to suffer the consequences of the judicial reforms will be the Israeli-Arab minority, Israel Democracy Institute warned.
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF

The judicial reforms that the government is considering will have severe consequences for Arab-Israelis, the Israel Democracy Institute warned in a new report on Sunday. The report said that if even one of the proposed reforms is passed into law, it will undermine the Supreme Court's authority and drastically alter its composition and character, leaving the Knesset completely unchecked. One of the first groups in the country to suffer the consequences of this will be the Israeli-Arab minority, the report claimed.

The Israel Democracy Institute noted that Israel's identity as a Jewish and democratic state and its constitutional and political structure pre-define the status of Arab-Israelis, who have almost no ability to influence policy that affects them. The report noted that Arab representatives are not part of the current governing coalition and that even when they are, they do not hold positions of power.
